Subject: [PATCH datacenter-manager/installer/proxmox v2 00/16] auto-installer: add installed target systems as new remotes
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 13:04:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826110504.1339934-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
Adds a new checkbox to the "Authentication" tab of the wizard for
creating/editing prepared auto-installer answers.
When checked, the installer (in the post-hook) will create a new API
token on the freshly installed system - akin to how PDM does it when
creating a new token - and adds it a remote.
Of course; only supported when installing PVE or PBS, as these are the
supported targets of PDM.
The post-hook information schema (which is sent back to the answer
server) is expanded a bit to accommodate that with two new fields:
- `cert-fingerprint`: The SHA256 fingerprint for the API, needed due to
the default self-signed certificates.
- `api-token`: Holds the ID of the created token and its secret.
Apply order
===========
Same as the repo order in the patch series, i.e. the `proxmox` part
first, then `pve-installer` and `proxmox-datacenter-manager` need their
dependency on `proxmox-installer-types` bumped accordingly.
Testing
=======
I've tested both following combinations; each with all products as
possible:
- Current PDM (1.1.7) with patched ISOs (i.e. w/ patches from this
series)
- Patched PDM (i.e. w/ patches from this series) with current ISOs
(PVE 9.2-1, PBS 4.2-1, PMG 9.1-1, PDM 1.1-1)
- Patched PDM w/ patched ISOs
History
=======
